However, for a person of ordinary skill in the art, apparently, this application may be implemented without these specific details. In other cases, disclosed well-known methods, processes, assemblies, circuits, and networks are not described in detail, to avoid unnecessary ambiguity in each aspect of the embodiments.

In addition, although terms such as “first” and “second” are used for a plurality of times in this specification to describe various elements (or various thresholds, various applications, various instructions, or various operations) and the like, these elements (or thresholds, applications, instructions, or operations) are not intended to be limited to these terms.

For example, a first operation may be referred to as a second operation and a second operation may also be referred to as a first operation without departing from the scope of this application. The first operation and the second operation are both operations, but the two operations are not the same.

Steps in the embodiments of this application may not be performed in a described step order. The steps may be selectively disordered and rearranged according to a requirement, a step in an embodiment may be deleted, or a step may be added to an embodiment. The step descriptions in the embodiments of this application are merely an optional order combination and do not represent all step order combinations in the embodiments of this application. A step order in the embodiments is not to be considered as a limitation on this application.

In this specification, “include/comprise” specifies existence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components, buts does not exclude existence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and/or components and/or a group thereof.

An intelligent terminal (for example, a mobile terminal) in the embodiments of this application may be implemented in various forms. For example, the mobile terminal described in the embodiments of this application may include mobile terminals such as a mobile phone, a smartphone, a notebook computer, a digital broadcast receiver, a personal digital assistant (PDA), a tablet computer (PAD), a portable media player (PMP), and a navigation apparatus and fixed terminals such as a digital TV and a desktop computer. It is assumed that a terminal is a mobile terminal below. However, it is to be understood by a person skilled in the art that unless an element particularly used for a mobile purpose, a construction according to an implementation of this application can also be applied to a terminal of a fixed type.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of hardware entities performing information exchange according to an embodiment of this application. FIG. 1 includes a terminal device 1 and a server 2. The terminal device 1 includes terminal devices 11 to 14, and the terminal device includes a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a PC computer, an all-in-one machine, and the like. In a constructed virtual scene, the mobile phone is more practical. By means of this embodiment of this application, virtuality and reality combination of real geographical locations and a virtual world may be performed. The second world (the virtual world) is an application scenario of this application. In this scenario, friends may be pulled by using WeChat or the like, or strangers may be pulled by using a “discovery module”. In the second world, according to a “discovery channel”, specifically, according to a function of the discovery module, a virtual space obtained by performing drawing according to real geographical location data is used for information exchange between users in the second world. The terminal devices report respective real-time locations to a server, and the server stores the real geographical locations, draws a map in a constructed three-dimensional space according to the real geographical locations, and simulates a real environment of the geographical location in which a current terminal is located, to obtain a virtual space for information exchange, so that all terminal users may perform information exchange such as a session or a game in the virtual space. Data related to the virtual space may be pushed to the terminal device, and be displayed on the terminal device. Specifically, the following operations are included: 1) Obtain real geographical location data. That is, the first step is “real”, and map data of a range in which a user is located may be obtained according to a current location (current latitude and longitude information obtained through global positioning system (GPS) positioning of a mobile phone) of the user. The map data includes basic data (for example, building information) and more refined auxiliary data (for example, a road/street, a river, or a bus station). 2) Draw a map of the virtual space according to the real geographical location data. That is: the second step is “virtual”. Therefore, a “virtuality and reality combination effect” is achieved according to the first step and the second step. In the second step, when drawing a map, drawing and later modifications are performed on the to-be-drawn map according to a reusable preset model (for example, drawing and adjustment are performed on a height/width of a building model, a length/width of a road model, a length/width of a bus station, and the like).

In the information exchange, real map data may be dynamically loaded according to movement of a location of a user (represented by a first terminal user), and map drawing in the virtual space is performed; and map drawing is performed for another user (represented by a second terminal user) according to a location of the another user.

In the information exchange, a user (represented by the first terminal user) and another user (represented by the second terminal user) may perform information exchange, for example, triggering interaction between the two users by collision, or entering a group session.

In addition to the foregoing map drawing for the current location of a province in which the user is located, a system may further randomly configure locations of other provinces for the user, a load balance needs to be considered and a room is allocated to the user.

An image-editing processing logic 10 performed on a server side is shown in FIG. 1, and the processing logic 10 includes the following operations: S1: Obtain, according to location information (current real-time location information and/or one piece of location information given when randomly switching the terminal to another province in consideration of the load balance) of a first terminal and/or a second terminal, map data of a range in which a current terminal (the first terminal and/or the second terminal) is located. S2: Parse the obtained map data (obtaining methods of the map data have a plurality of specific implementations, and are respectively subsequently described by means of the first map data, the second map data, the third map data, and the fourth map data, “the first to the fourth” herein do not represent a time order of obtaining the map data and are merely used for distinguishing the map data obtained by different obtaining methods, and the map data may be the same, or may be different from each other), draw, according to the map data obtained through parsing, a map in a constructed three-dimensional space, and simulate a real environment of a geographical location of the current terminal in the three-dimensional space, to obtain a virtual space. S3: Collect an operation triggered by a plurality of terminals in the virtual space, and control, according to a generated operation instruction, information exchange processing (a one-to-one interaction mode and/or a one-to-many interaction mode) between the terminals.

The example in FIG. 1 is merely an example of a system architecture for implementing the embodiments of this application, and the embodiments of this application are not limited to the system architecture shown in FIG. 1. Various embodiments of the method of this application are proposed based on the system architecture described in FIG. 1.

An information exchange method based on a virtual space scene according to an embodiment of this application is shown in FIG. 2, and the method includes: obtaining location information of the current terminal (101); obtaining, according to the location information of the current terminal, map data of a range in which the current terminal is located (102); drawing, according to the map data, a map in a constructed three-dimensional space, to obtain a drawing result (103); simulating, according to the drawing result, a real environment of a geographical location of the current terminal in the three-dimensional space, to obtain a virtual space for information exchange (104); and collecting an operation triggered by at least two terminals in the virtual space, and controlling information exchange processing of the at least two terminals according to a generated operation instruction (105). In this embodiment of this application, a virtual space is constructed for users, where the virtual space is simulation of a real environment, so that when information exchange, such as instant messaging, a real-time session, or a game, is implemented by using the virtual space, a processing result that the users are caused to mutually perform information exchange in the real environment is achieved.

Specifically, in an actual application of this embodiment, by combining the real geographical location data with the virtual three-dimensional space, and adding, into the three-dimensional space, the map drawn according to the real geographical location data, the real environment of the geographical location of the current terminal may be simulated in the virtual three-dimensional space. In addition to simulating the geographical location of the current terminal (for example, it is represented by using the first terminal), geographical location of a plurality of other terminals (for example, it is represented by using the second terminal) may be further simulated, to obtain a virtual space for information exchange of at least two terminals. The virtual space is simulation of the real environment, that is, in this embodiment of this application, data synchronization is performed between the virtual space and geographical information of the real world, so that a plurality of terminal users have an experience of performing information exchange in the real environment when interacting with each other. The virtual space may be a virtual community formed by a plurality of terminal users, and the virtual community is a virtual community based on panoramic real images and geographical information, so that information exchange such as instant messaging, a real-time session, or a game may be implemented when a user interacts with the environment in the virtual community and the current user interacts with another user. In the virtual community, a virtual ground may be included. Various three-dimensional entities, such as a virtual storied building, a virtual road/street, a virtual bridge, a virtual bus station, and the like may be added on the virtual ground, and anything that exists in the real world may be presented in the virtual community. The virtual community may be referred to as a second world since it is different from the real world (a first world). FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of buildings, rivers, roads, and trees that really exist in the first world. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a virtual space obtained by simulating, in the second world, buildings, rivers, roads, and trees really existing in the first world. In the virtual space, transverse and longitudinal dotted lines are used for representing longitude and latitude (it is merely schematic). Terminal users A1 to A5 are included, and locations of the terminal users A1 to A5 in the virtual space, and relative distances of the terminal users to a nearby building 3D object, a road/street, a river, and a tree are all the same as locations and relative distances of the terminal users in the first world. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a relationship between the first world and the second world. The second world is obtained by simulating the real map data of the first world, and through a perspective, mapping, or projection relationship with the first world, the second world is obtained according to the real map data, preset model files, and model instances. In the second world, the plurality of terminal users may have a one-to-one session, or a group chat among many persons in the information exchange status shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 7. In the group chat, a voice chat and a text chat are available, and emoticons or body pictures may alternatively be transmitted and displayed in a display area 1 of each terminal.

In an embodiment, the second world is a virtual space (or may be referred to as a virtual community) constructed by using the VR technology, and may be used for social intercourse and sharing among a plurality of terminal users. A virtual 3D image of a user may be generated according to a photo of the user, and the second world further includes rich social playing methods, which can chat with one person or a group of persons in real time.

In an embodiment, the terminal users performing the real-time chat may be a first information group formed by friends pulled through a social application such as WeChat or QQ, and a group used for a real-time chat is constructed according to the first information group.

In an embodiment, the terminal users performing the real-time chat may be a second information group formed by pulled strangers, and a group used for a real-time chat is constructed according to the second information group. Pulling strangers may cause the user to make new friends more effectively. For example, the map data of the range in which the current terminal is located is obtained based on the location information of the current terminal (for example, the first terminal), and another terminal (for example, the second terminal) which is relatively close to the current terminal is found through analysis according to the map data. Therefore, another terminal (for example, the second terminal) meeting the geographical location requirement in the range is added into the second information group. Further, whether the current terminal (for example, the first terminal) and another terminal (for example, the second terminal) have the same feature needs to be further determined. For the same feature, the two terminal users generate respective virtual 3D images in the second world according to photos of the terminal users.

In an embodiment, in the second world, a stranger is pulled by using the discovery channel. In the discovery channel, division may be performed according to different provinces of a country, and a discovery room is randomly created by using the real-time geographical location, to obtain map information (including the building information, the road, the river, the tree, and the bus station) of the location of the current terminal. Corresponding model files, including models such as buildings, roads, rivers, and woods are preset according to a map information type, and drawing is performed on the models according to sizes and locations identified on the map data. Then, new map data generated according to the movement change of the current location may be further loaded in real time according to the movement of the character corresponding to the current terminal, to ensure that the discovery map can be infinitely extended. The user may further make more real friends in the infinitely extended virtual space scene according to the location information, and enters a session status in the virtual scene. In addition to supporting a one-to-one session, a many-to-many session (a plurality of persons) is further supported in simultaneously entering one group (for example, the first information group, the second information group, and a third information group formed by an intersection, a union, and a collection of the first information group and the second information group) to enter a group chat status.

In this embodiment of this application, the latitude and longitude information of the current terminal is obtained through GPS, the location information of the current terminal is identified by using the latitude and longitude information, and data within a preset range radiated outward by using the latitude and longitude information as a center is determined as the map data of the range in which the current terminal is located. Therefore, the map data of the range in which the current terminal is located is obtained according to the location information of the current terminal.

In this embodiment of this application, there are a plurality of manners of obtaining the map data, and a solution of obtaining the drawing result by drawing a map in the constructed three-dimensional space according to the map data may have a combination of at least one of the following, including:

1. Different regions (for example, provinces, cities, municipalities, autonomous prefectures, districts, or counties) are obtained through division for a to-be-drawn map according to different provinces of a country in the constructed three-dimensional space. This embodiment of this application is simulation of the real world, so that regions into which the to-be-drawn map is divided in the constructed three-dimensional space are the same as regions obtained through division of the real map information. A real-time location of the current terminal in a current region (for example, Beijing) is obtained, and first map data (it refers to the current map data, and in an embodiment in which the map data is updated subsequently, for distinguishing the map data from new map data generated by the subsequent location movement, the new map data is represented by second map data) is pulled according to the real-time location identified by the latitude and longitude information. The first map data is parsed, to obtain basic-class data (for example, building information) and auxiliary-class data (for example, a road/street, a river, a bus station, and the like), the basic-class data is used for representing the first location information including the building information, and the auxiliary-class data is used for representing the second location information including the road, the street, the river, and the bus station. A first model file (for example, a model file corresponding to a Prefab model instance) is obtained according to the first location information. For example, the length, the width, and the height of the building information may generate a 3D storied building, and the length, the width, and the height may be adjusted later). A first model instance (for example, a Prefab model instance, where Prefab model instances correspond to different map data types, for example, Prefab model instances of the basic-class data and the auxiliary-class data are different) is established according to the first model file. A second model file is obtained according to the second location information, and a second model instance is established according to the second model file. Map drawing of the first model instance and the second model instance is performed in the three-dimensional space respectively according to the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the first location information, the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the second location information, basic attributes (for example, the length, the width, and the height), and auxiliary identification information (for example, identifiers near the building).

2. Different regions (for example, provinces, cities, municipalities, autonomous prefectures, districts, or counties) are obtained through division for a to-be-drawn map according to different provinces of a country in the constructed three-dimensional space, and a real-time location change of the current terminal in the current region is monitored. In one scene, the map is updated and extended according to data of a change quantity from the first real-time location to the second real-time location, and the advantage is that: compared with the first solution, the update of partial data has higher efficiency but may have an error in calculation accuracy. Specifically, second map data generated by the current terminal based on the current real-time location change is loaded in real time according to a location change parameter generated in response to moving from a first real-time location to a second real-time location, and the second map data is pulled in response to finding, through monitoring, that the real-time location of the current terminal moves from the first real-time location to the second real-time location. The second map data is parsed, to obtain basic-class data and auxiliary-class data, the basic-class data is used for representing the third location information including the building information, and the auxiliary-class data is used for representing the fourth location information including the road, the street, the river, and the bus station. A third model file is obtained according to the third location information, and a third model instance is established according to the third model file. A fourth model file is obtained according to the fourth location information, and a fourth model instance is established according to the fourth model file. Map drawing of the third model instance and the fourth model instance is performed in the three-dimensional space respectively according to the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the third location information, the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the fourth location information, basic attributes, and auxiliary identification information.

3. Different regions (for example, provinces, cities, municipalities, autonomous prefectures, districts, or counties) are obtained through division for a to-be-drawn map according to different provinces of a country in the constructed three-dimensional space, and a real-time location change of the current terminal in the current region is monitored. In another scene, the map is reconstructed according to the second real-time location, and refreshing is performed according to the reconstructed map data, to refresh all of the map data. The advantage is that: the calculation is more precise by refreshing all the data. Specifically, third map data is generated according to a second real-time location, and the third map data is pulled in response to finding, through monitoring, that the real-time location of the current terminal moves from a first real-time location to the second real-time location. The third map data is latitude and longitude information that is obtained by using the GPS and that corresponds to the second real-time location of the current terminal, and data within a preset range radiated outward by using the latitude and longitude information as a center may be determined as the map data of the range in which the current terminal is located, where the map data is the third map data.

The third map data is parsed, to obtain basic-class data and auxiliary-class data, the basic-class data is used for representing the fifth location information including the building information, and the auxiliary-class data is used for representing the sixth location information including the road, the street, the river, and the bus station. A fifth model file is obtained according to the fifth location information, and a fifth model instance is established according to the fifth model file. A sixth model file is obtained according to the sixth location information, and a sixth model instance is established according to the sixth model file. Map drawing of the fifth model instance and the sixth model instance is performed in the three-dimensional space respectively according to the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the fifth location information, the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the sixth location information, basic attributes, and auxiliary identification information.

4. Different regions (for example, provinces, cities, municipalities, autonomous prefectures, districts, or counties) are obtained through division for a to-be-drawn map according to different provinces of a country in the constructed three-dimensional space, and the real-time location of the current terminal in the current region is switched to a designated region in another province. A target location is randomly allocated, according to an upper limit requirement of terminal users of the same province, for the current terminal in the designated region. For example, a room is randomly allocated based on an upper limit of 50 users in the same province, and the room is a region meeting one latitude and longitude range. A target location of the current terminal is obtained, and fourth map data is pulled according to the target location identified by the latitude and longitude information. For example, the real-time location of the user is in Beijing, and the user may be switched to another province such as Shanghai. In this case, the longitude and latitude coordinates are not the real-time location used for identifying the user, but are a target location randomly allocated by the apparatus in this embodiment of this application to the user, and data within a preset range radiated outward by using the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the target location as a center may be determined as the map data of the range in which the current terminal is located, where the map data is the fourth map data.

The fourth map data is parsed, to obtain basic-class data and auxiliary-class data, the basic-class data is used for representing the seventh location information including the building information, and the auxiliary-class data is used for representing the eighth location information including the road, the street, the river, and the bus station. A seventh model file is obtained according to the seventh location information, and a seventh model instance is established according to the seventh model file. An eighth model file is obtained according to the eighth location information, and an eighth model instance is established according to the eighth model file. Map drawing of the seventh model instance and the eighth model instance is performed in the three-dimensional space respectively according to the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the seventh location information, the latitude and longitude information corresponding to the eighth location information, basic attributes, and auxiliary identification information.

In the foregoing plurality of embodiments, a plurality of model files corresponding to different location information, and a plurality of model instances respectively corresponding to the plurality of model files are involved. Corresponding models, including models such as buildings, roads, rivers, parks, and woods are respectively preset for different types of map data (the basic-class data and the auxiliary-class data). Model instances are established according to the preset model files (for example, Prefab, where Prefab is a resource reference file of Unity, and the same object may be created by using a prefab). In a process of drawing a map, corresponding model instances are selected according to different types of map data (the basic-class data and the auxiliary-class data). Basic attributes such as the length, the width, and the height of the plurality of model instances may be different. However, for one same model instance, for example, a building 3D object representing a storied building may be reused for a plurality of times. For another example, a building 3D object representing a commercial building may also be reused for a plurality of times, a building 3D object representing a road/street may be reused for a plurality of times, and so on. That is, the same object may be created by using one prefab, and repeated instantiation is supported to reduce overheads. When a model corresponding to a model file is instantiated, a map may be drawn by using a model instance according to longitude and latitude coordinates, basic attributes, and auxiliary identification information on the map data.

In this embodiment of this application, a stranger may be pulled by using the discovery channel in the second world. In the discovery channel, division may be performed according to different provinces of a country, and a discovery room is randomly created by using the real-time geographical location, to obtain map information (including the building information, the road, the river, the tree, and the bus station) of the location of the current terminal. Corresponding model files, including models such as buildings, roads, rivers, and woods are preset according to a map information type, and drawing is performed on the models according to sizes and locations identified on the map data. Then, new map data generated according to the movement change of the current location may be further loaded in real time according to the movement of the character corresponding to the current terminal, to ensure that the discovery map can be infinitely extended. The user may further make more real friends in the infinitely extended virtual space scene according to the location information, and enters a session status in the virtual scene.

In this embodiment of this application, in a scene of drawing a map and performing simulation to obtain a virtual space, a three-dimensional environment of the virtual space may be created by using a 3D graphics program interface, and an outer display screen of the scene may be drawn in the three-dimensional environment of the virtual space. Specifically, corresponding model files, including models such as buildings, roads, rivers, and woods are preset according to a map information type, and drawing is performed on the models according to sizes and locations identified on the map data. It may be learned that the model is a storied building, a store, or a road. To better simulate and display map data in the three-dimensional space, storied buildings need to be different from each other. Therefore, the collected panoramic real image data may be transmitted from a server to a 3D display platform in the terminal and is mapped to the outer display screen of the scene in a texture mapping manner, to obtain a virtual space based on the outer display screen of the scene.

In this embodiment of this application, in a scene of generating a virtual space by combining the real geographical locations and a virtual preset module, as shown in FIG. 8, the real-time geographical location may be used in the discovery module of the second world, to obtain map information (including building information, roads, rivers, trees, and bus stations) of a current location module, and corresponding models (including models such as buildings, roads, rivers, parks, and woods) are preset according to an obtained information type. Before this, Prefab is established by using a preset model file, a model prefab is selected and instantiated according to the type of the map data, and a map is drawn by using the model according to longitude and latitude coordinates, basic attributes, and auxiliary identification information on the map data. Specifically, the following operations are included: 1) obtaining, by using a location management and synchronization component, latitude and longitude information of a current user in real time, and synchronizing the latitude and longitude information to a server regularly, to obtain location coordinates of other users and perform drawing in a map; 2) obtaining, by using a map application programming interface (API) obtaining component, map data of a current region under a zooming coefficient according to the latitude and longitude information of the location of the current user, and performing map drawing according to map data information returned by a map API interface; 3) designing, according to a preset Prefab model instance and elements drawn on the map, a corresponding model file in advance, and reusing, based on the instantiation of the same resource of the Prefab, a model to draw the map, which can greatly reduce performance consumption; and 4) performing character collision detection, group member area collision, friend profile management, and chat scene management, to make it convenient for users to have different options when establishing interaction with each other. In a process of virtuality and reality combination, all users may be allocated to different provinces according to geographical locations, a room is randomly allocated based on an upper limit of 50 users in the same province, and new map data generated by the change of the current location is loaded in real time according to the movement of a model of the current user. Therefore, the discovery map may be infinitely extended, and the user may make more real friends in the scene according to locations, and enter a session status in the virtual scene. Besides, a plurality of persons are supported in simultaneously entering a group chat status. A virtual space may be generated by means of VR and AR technologies, and the real world and the virtual space are combined to be acquainted with a new user more effectively based on a location. Division is performed according to different provinces of a country, a discovery room is randomly created by using the real-time geographical location, and new map data generated by the change of the current location is loaded in real time according to the movement of a character, so that the discovery map may be infinitely extended, and a user may make more real friends in the scene according to locations. In this way, costs of making a new friend are reduced, and a social relationship may be easily established. A user may check personal information and image of the user by tapping the user, or enters a session and participates in a group chat with other persons by discovery, to search for a friend in which the user is interested.

In terms of VR and AR, in addition to a real space in which the user is located, a virtual space may be further constructed for the user. In the VR technology, a virtual world of a three-dimensional space is generated through computer simulation, and a user is provided with simulation of a visual sense, an auditory sense, a touch sense, or the like, so that the user feels as if the user is personally on the scene, and observes things in the three-dimensional space in time and with no limitation. When the user performs location movement, the computer can immediately perform complex operations to transmit back an accurate 3D world video to generate a sense of presence. All scenes and people seen are fake, and a person's consciousness is substituted into a virtual world, which includes a combination of a plurality of technologies, for example, a real-time three-dimensional computer graphics technology, a wide angle (wide field of view) stereoscopic display technology, a technology of tracking an observer's head, eye, and hand, a tactile/force feedback technology, a stereo technology, a network transmission technology, a voice input/output technology, and the like. AR is also referred to as an augmented reality technology, and is a new technology of “seamlessly” integrating information about a real world and information about a virtual world, where entity information (for example, visual information, voice, taste, sense of touch, and the like) that is originally hardly experienced within a certain time space range of the real world is simulated and then superimposed through science technologies such as a computer, and the virtual information is applied to the real world, and sensed by a human sense, to reach a sense experience exceeding the reality. The real environment and the virtual object are superimposed in real time to the same picture or space to exist at the same time. The information about the real world is presented, the virtual information is displayed at the same time, and the two types of information complement each other and are superimposed. In visual augmented reality, the user synthesizes a real world and computer graphics by using a helmet display, so that it can be seen that the real world is surrounded by the graphics.

In this embodiment of this application, the operation triggered by the at least two terminals in the virtual space may be collected, and the information exchange processing is triggered in a case that the operation meets a collision detection policy and/or a group member area collision policy. A first operation instruction is generated according to the collision detection policy, where the first operation instruction is used for controlling the at least two terminals to perform a one-to-one interaction mode, and a one-to-one user session state between terminals is entered in response to the first operation instruction. A second operation instruction is generated according to the group member area collision policy, where the second operation instruction is used for controlling the at least two terminals to perform a one-to-many interaction mode, and a one-to-many user group chat state between terminals is entered in response to the second operation instruction. In a process of making more real friends according to the location information, a session status is entered by using the virtual scene. In addition to supporting a one-to-one session, a many-to-many session (a plurality of persons) is further supported in simultaneously entering one group (for example, the first information group, the second information group, and a third information group formed by an intersection, a union, and a collection of the first information group and the second information group) to enter a group chat status. Specifically, specific information exchange may be triggered through character collision detection, group member area collision, friend profile management, and chat scene management, to make it convenient for users to have different options when establishing interaction with each other.

In this embodiment of this application, the virtual space may be transmitted to at least two terminals for display. The virtual space is provided with a default viewing angle. In an example, when the terminal is VR glasses, the default viewing angle may be a viewing angle from which a 3D entity (for example, a virtual object) may be browsed in a normal mode after entering the VR mode. The virtual object may be static, or may be moving. In a case that the virtual object is in a static state, browsing may be performed by using the default viewing angle without a problem. However, in a case that the virtual object is in a moving state, browsing performed by using the default viewing angle can hardly meet a browsing requirement. In this case, the terminal may adjust the viewing angle according to a current browsing requirement. That is, any terminal may transmit a viewing angle control instruction to one server, a control processor in one server, or a hardware entity that is in a server cluster and that is used for processing the control instruction, and the recipient (for example, one server, a control processor in one server, or a hardware entity that is in a server cluster and that is used for processing the control instruction) receives the viewing angle control instruction, generates a corresponding virtual space according to the viewing angle control instruction, and transmits the virtual space to the corresponding terminal.

In this embodiment of this application, in an example, in a case that the terminal is VR glasses, the recipient (for example, one server, a control processor in one server, or a hardware entity that is in a server cluster and that is used for processing the control instruction) may further receive a display control instruction transmitted by any terminal. Operations performed according to the scene in which the terminal user is located, for example, a browsing operation in a game and ordinary browsing are different, and a virtual object may hide and jump in the game. To accurately capture a specific operation and perform response processing such as information exchange between the current terminal and another terminal, the terminal may transmit a display control instruction to the foregoing recipient, and the recipient generates a corresponding virtual space according to the display control instruction and then transmits the virtual space to another terminal. The display control instruction controls real-time display of the terminal on the virtual space, and the real-time display includes one of or a combination of more than one of avatar display, action display, a text identifier, and invisible display that are controllable in real time.

In this embodiment of this application, one server, a control processor in one server, or a hardware entity that is in a server cluster and that is used for processing the control instruction may further collect interaction operations between any terminal and the 3D entity (for example, the virtual object) in the virtual space. For example, the virtual object is a cartoon character, and in a game scene of parkour of a cartoon character, the information exchange processing between the terminal and the virtual object may be controlled according to generated operation instructions (for example, upward movement, downward movement, left movement, right movement, and jump), to make the cartoon character perform corresponding operations such as upward movement, downward movement, left movement, right movement, and jump in a preset game scene according to the control of the operation instructions (for example, upward movement, downward movement, left movement, right movement, and jump).

In this embodiment of this application, recovery of the process interrupted in real time is re-initiated in a case that any process is interrupted in real time, where the process includes a drawing process of the map, generation of the virtual space, and the information exchange processing of the at least two terminals. A notification is sent, in a case that a condition of the real-time interruption meets a notification policy to the terminal participating in the process.

In this embodiment of this application, attribute information of the current terminal and attribute information of other terminals in the virtual space may be obtained. A virtual space matching the different attribute information is generated according to the obtained different attribute information. For example, for terminals with screens of different sizes and terminals with different models, different definitions may respectively be set for different terminals. In a case that one terminal is a mobile phone, and one terminal is an in-vehicle terminal, or different terminals are covered under different signal network modes, virtual spaces transmitted to the terminals by one server, a control processor in one server, or a hardware entity that is in a server cluster and that is used for processing the control instruction may be different from each other in data volume or adaptable screen.
